3D face recognition technology

BQT Solutions Ltd partners A.4 Vision with their advanced identification solutions using breakthrough 3D face recognition technology and BQT's DESfire smart card access solutions. Through innovations in 3D data capturing and processing capabilities, these systems permit industry-leading accuracy in real-time facial recognition and tracking.

The Enrollment Station (ES) is used to perform enrollment and the building of biometric 3D face templates. The device is designed with A4Vision’s advanced optical technology, structured light, and algorithms, utilizing a special projector and digital camera. The output of this equipment is both a 3D biometric template and a standard 2D color image of the subject. 

3D Technological Advantages

Invariance to light: Using near-infrared range and direct ground-based measurements available from 3D images the solution is tolerant to ambient light conditions.

Invariance to angles: Real-time video feed exploits the richness of 3D parameters, performing recognition with full head motion of up to 30’ degrees each direction.

3D Image Uniqueness: The richness of extracted facial measurements and data points is sufficient to distinguish between identical twins.

Processing Speed and Accuracy: Real-time video 3D face capture and processing speeds of 10-12 full capturing-matching cycles per second allow for extremely low False Rejection Rates (FRR), even when the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) is set close to zero (10-4), proving A4 is the industry leader in processing and accuracy.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Advanced Technology: Feature extraction algorithms coupled with advanced optical technology allow for rotated face recognition in a continuous range of angles. Due to the near-infrared range of the projector and camera, invariance under light and illumination is automatically achieved. Advanced reconstruction algorithms perform real-time matching and recognition while simultaneously overcoming processing constraints inherent in competitive 3D facial recognition technology.

Non-Invasive: Working in invisible infrared light, our solution is capable of passive recognition with high performance results in real life environments. Because our technology is non-invasive, requiring neither contact and minimal user cooperation. Compatibility: Compatible with existing physical access control applications and a wide range of external readers, including laser, magnetic stripe, Wiegand, proximity, and other biometric devices.

Integration: The Vision Access™ (VA) SDK, allows for quick and easy integration with new and existing third-party products such as advanced security solutions, access control and time and attendance applications.

Ergonomics: Optimal ergonomics allow for fast and easy face positioning result in instant ecognition within less than 1/2 of second from the time a subject appears within the view field.

The Vision Access face reader is commonly used to control physical access to buildings and entrances. The reader was designed for quick and easy user positioning which optimizes throughput at entrances. To accomplish this an LCD and audio feedback have been integrated into the design. This makes it very simple for the user to get into the correct position for the reader to quickly capture the optimal image.

3D Technological Advantages

Invariance to light: Using near-infrared range and direct ground-based measurements available from 3D images, our imaging solutions are more tolerant to ambient light conditions, independent from background color, facial make-up, and accessories.

Invariance to angles: Real-time video feed exploits the richness of 3D parameters, performing recognition with full head motion of up to 30’ degrees each direction.

3D Image Uniqueness: The richness of extracted facial measurements and data points is sufficient to distinguish between identical twins.

Processing Speed and Accuracy: Proprietary 3D bio-algorithms perform real-time video face capture, and calculation at rates exceeding 30 frames per second. Processing speeds of 10-12 full capturing-matching cycles per second allow for extremely low False Rejection Rates (FRR), even when the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) is set close to zero (10-4), proving A4 is the industry leader in processing and accuracy.
